Nursery Road Elementary School-Arts Magnet (NRES-AM) is a neighborhood school that is located ten miles west of Columbia, South Carolina. It is one of twelve elementary schools in Lexington/Richland School District Five. Nursery Road opened its doors in 1980 with a little over a thousand students in grades kindergarten through five. It was built to relieve overcrowding at Irmo Elementary, a neighboring school approximately four miles away. It soon became the largest elementary school in the district. The sixth grade was added in 1982. Overcrowding continued to be a problem until H. Corley Elementary, another neighborhood school, opened in 1991 and the sixth grade went back to middle school in 1992. Currently we have 498 students enrolled in 4K to 5th grades. In addition to the core subjects, each student also takes an array of related arts classes to compliment the core curriculum. These classes include General and Instrumental Music, Visual and Media Art, Dance/Theater, Physical Education, Computer Keyboarding, and Spanish. Fifth grade students also have the option of taking strings.
